Mirabilia Musica - Echoes from late medieval Cracow
La Morra
Qobuz 24/192




This is very well done!
The singing, the old instruments, the recording.
We both love the pieces.

The city of Cracow, until 1596 the political, commercial and cultural capital of Poland, rose to prominence in Central Europe in the course of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries under the rule of the Jagiellon dynasty. Although repertoire both performed and composed in Cracow exists from before to that period, it is the manuscripts from the first half of the fifteenth century that capture an impression of the city’s soundscape in a period when it was reportedly “gripped by the greatest enthusiasm” for music. On the one hand, they reveal an intense involvement with Italian and French art music, and on the other, rare glimpses of local musical production ranging from simple, often archaic-sounding polyphony to more complex works of Mikołaj Radomski, a mysterious Polish composer whose music is not known from other sources. The recorded programme is a musical panorama of a vibrant early fifteenth-century city in the East of Latin Europe which, six centuries later, still enchants with its medieval-renaissance aura. © Ramée

As beautiful as the album above, if you like old music of course.

Bach for Two - Transcriptions and Originals for Viola da gamba and Organ
Romina Lischka
Marnix De Cat

Qobuz 24/96




One of the albums above led me to exploring this label a bit more.
This is a great album!
Good sound too.

Johann Sebastian Bach left us three sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord. He made various transcriptions of the gamba sonata in G major, one of which was of the last movement as a trio sonata for organ. Several movements of the six organ trio sonatas themselves are also reworkings of previously composed material from his cantatas, organ and chamber works.

This practice inspired the "Bach for Two" programme by Romina Lischka and Marnix De Cat, in which they have assembled the most beautiful combinations of viola da gamba and organ in both original and arranged versions of Bach’s chorale preludes and trios. Bach is a master of both the head and the heart. With text and melody as his starting point, he created small musical worlds in his chorale preludes for organ and takes the listener on the most varied of inner journeys. To experience musical joy, to find inner peace through every possible emotion, to be comforted in one’s search or sorrow, to be moved to the depths of one’s being - this is the art of Bach, the magician of sound. © Ramée

Yoshiyuki Funaki - Bass clarinet album
Qobuz 24/192




Music from Schoeck, Brahms, Verbesselt, Russell, Poulenc and Fukuda.
Also this label (OMF) delivers interesting albums.
One disadvantage: no booklets included.

Rip of the K2 HD remastering to CD of Arthur Fiedler's and the Boston Pops' late 1960's RCA readings of Rodion Shchedrin's percussion-peppered, Bizet-based Carmen Ballet, Dimitri Shostakovich's Hamlet, and Alexander Glazunov's Carnaval Overture.

While the Carmen Ballet (also known as Carmen Suite) gets main billing here, I find the performances of both the Shostakovich and the Glazunov equally compelling. And the remastered sonics are presence-delicious.
